Snickerdoodles - Chris's favorite

Chris requested snickerdoodles for his Christmas cookie this year.

I used the Joy of Cooking recipe:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line 2 cookie sheets.

Whisk until wel blended:
2 c ap flour
2 t cream of tartar
1 t baking soda
1/4 t salt

Beat in a large bowl:
1 c unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 c sugar

Add and beat until well combined:
2 large eggs

Stir in flour mixture.

Combine:
1/4 c sugar
4 t cinnamon

Shape the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls, roll in the cinnamon sugar, and arrange about 2 3/4 inches apart on the cookie sheets.Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until the cookies are light golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let stand breifly, then remove to a rack to cool.
